We are vastly aproaching the year

MORTAL KOMBAT
Ever since i was a young lad i have loved Mortal Kombat. It all started
with my mom telling me that Mortal Kombat was way to violent for me to
play but i didn't listen i went to Blockbuster and grabbed it. I told my
mom it was Madden 92 and got away with it. I played hours on hours renting
time after time until my parents realized that Madden 92 didn't have screams
and battle crys. At that time they really didn't care because they forgot
about the whole anti-kombat campaign. Soon after came Mk II which i soon
mastered HAHAH. The new characters posed little challenge because i always
new that the next MK game would take more techinque. In 1995 i think
Mk III came out. Even more characters even more fun. This Mk game actually
was challenging because of that pesky run button. I beat the game several
times but i never really mastered it in my opinion.The reason this was
because UMK came out to early. UMK was to tough but i beat it several times.
In UMK the only character that did severe damage was Sub-Zero. After waiting
for a like 6 month MK Trillogy came out. It stunk!!! In fact it was
so bad that i didn't play it more than 4 times. Now after 4 good games
it has come MK IV.
The Best MK Character
Sub-Zero
